I have it worse than you do for sure about 2/5 of the whole circle for me is scuffed. The metal part is smudged away or something, oh well, an excuse later to get a voodoo knob.

 

I replaced mine with Rick's Polished Titanium VooDoo knob and now have my old knob on my desk. I'm looking at right now and dont see any real scratches and I probably had about 15k miles when I replaced it.

I can see more scratches on my Rick's knob but it cleans up nicely.

Pretty much, I think it's normal. Do you wear any jewlery, like rings, bracelets, etc? Back when I had my '00, my wife (while attempting to learn the gears) scratched the knob with her ring.

 

Apparently!

 

if you can't clean the scratches, you can always buy a new stock shiftknob from HandA for 67 bucks...or a nice voodoo knob from ricks for 30 bucks...

of course you might want to try getting a polishing wheel and throwing it on your drill...that should take out any scratches in no time...while leaving the dug-out shit gate intact

 

oops, meant shift gate, not shit gate ;-)

 

Airgate, you have a very clean interior with only 4K miles I have dust all over the place. Esp. around the seat creases and all over the shift boot.

 

You mean JasonB, right?

Try using some Pledge "Grab-It" dry wipes. They work so damn well!

 

Oh my bad. To JasonB!
